One lad who'll risk their life going across the English Channel in a dinghy in the hope of some shit minimum wage job instead of living at the absolute bottom rung of the capitalist exploitation ladder is worth a 1000 commentators who keep trying to tell you to give in to fascism just a little bit

In the Argolida region of southern Greece, water escapes through cracks in an irrigation canal feeding a plain of orange trees. Underground, old pipes lose more than half the water that is pumped through them, officials say reut.rs/419rgAy

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

Please help ban LGBTQ conversion therapy! Great news! Éire joins Finland & France as only EU countries to reach the threshold, now 4 more are needed. Closest are Belgium (57%), DK (34%), Germany (34%), NL (48%) & Slovenia (48%). So please share widely: eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

Super great that one of the major funding bodies that supports my physics research is now officially in opposition to me being the one to do it.

#speirgorm please keep sharing & signing! ireland has met 67% of the threshold so far, we can do this!

Feminist friends - looking back anti ‘DEI’ is a new version of anti ‘woke’ which was built on anti ‘gender inclusion’ & anti ‘positive discrimination’ which was hated as ‘political correctness’ back in the day - it’s all just the continuing of misogyny, racism, LGBTQ phobias! New name, same hate!

In a world full of trump I prefer a world full of tramp. Supertramp. Needed this tonight even though I don't think many of my Iraqi or Kurdish friends have any idea who Supertramp are. Such is life 😅

"What happened on that Sunday, when thousands gathered in numerous towns in Greece and abroad to demand justice for the victims of the country’s worst railway disaster in Tempe nearly two years ago, was out of the ordinary," writes Kostis Karpozilos. www.ekathimerini.com/opinion/1260...

My mood…

On this day in 1984, Anne Lovett, a 15-year-old schoolgirl, died while giving birth near a Marian Grotto in Granard, County Longford. Let's remember her today and how scared she must have been. We failed her. www.thejournal.ie/readme/ann-l...

Annual reminder that #Brigid was so much more than a Christian saint. She was the goddess who brought spring. Healing, sword smithing, butter, beer and - in a roundabout but practical way - reproductive rights. Goddess. Busy. Delighted she has Monday off. #Imbolc #spéirghorm

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

BIG Yikes at this. Have the chats with your sons people. I started talking about body autonomy to my kids when they were 3.

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this. Smashed records. Curtesy of Garrett Roberts.

They've banned Bechdel. Seriously. Alison Bechdel. 🙄

“You’re talking about probably a million and half people, and we just clean out that whole thing.” - Trump to media yesterday. Reported widely verbatim today. Not a single outlet I have seen so far mentions that forced displacement of civilians is a war crime. This is where we are now.

Here's how the mind of a conspiracy theorist works: Graham Linehan once noticed that the people criticising him appeared to be quite eloquent. But that would mean they were intelligent, and that couldn't be!? So, he came up with the theory that they were using "Grammarly" to appear intelligent. 1/

Can everyone please report and block @meteireann.bsky.social it’s a fake account and posting vile stuff in between legitimate posts. It has quite a lot of followers already so please share 🙏🏽

Today and the next 4 years are going to be hard but we are with you 💪🏻🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Sometimes, the only way across is through, the night is darkest just before the dawn and just living is a form of defiance. We’ve had setbacks and back slides before, let’s looks after our #TransFamily ❤️

No one said it quite like Janey. #TrumpIsACunt #JaneyGodleyDay #MLKDay

"What happened?" "I’m stuck. It's so embarrassing." “I guess things went... a-rye?” “Please do shut up.” "You should get out of the sun." "Why?" "Otherwise, you'll be toast." "You're an asshole, Charlie." “You’re right, you deserve butter.”

Today is 2025-01-18, the sun sets at 16:42:07 and the grand auld stretch tonight was 36 mins and 24 secs. #GrandStretch #NewYearNewStretch

I was just reminded of the time the terf wizard lady decided to tell the world that wizards shit on the floor then clean it up by magic. Anyway. Look who's no longer number one in sales! www.thebookseller.com/features/jul...
